Burn It Down & Begin Again
Hosted by Erica, Burn It Down & Begin Again is a raw, soul-baring podcast about what happens when the life you built burns to the ground — and the woman who rises from the ashes stronger than ever.
This is more than a story of survival. It’s a journey of truth-telling, healing, and radical reinvention. Erica opens with her own chapters of addiction, abuse, betrayal, and breakdowns — not to dwell on the past, but to light the way forward. From there, the podcast shifts into rebuilding and manifesting the life you want, surviving and healing from codependency and narcissism, reclaiming your voice, and learning how to stand in your power as the woman you were always meant to be.
Each episode unpacks a piece of the path back to wholeness: untangling toxic relationships, setting boundaries, rewriting old narratives, and creating a life filled with strength, purpose, and joy. Erica doesn’t sugarcoat the pain — but she shows how to use it as fuel.
If you’ve ever felt silenced, isolated, or like no one could possibly understand what you’ve been through — this podcast is for you.
This is about remembering your worth. Reclaiming your voice. And rebuilding a life that feels like truth.

Chapter 9: The Brave Art of Letting Go — How Life Is a Trust Fall
🔥 Episode Description:
Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom earned in the fire.
In Chapter 9 of Burn It Down and Begin Again, Erica dives into the often misunderstood practice of surrender. Through personal stories, spiritual insights, and the teachings of Dr. David Hawkins, she unpacks how our need for control stems from fear — fear of being abandoned, unloved, unseen.
This is the chapter where we unclench our fists.
Where we stop gripping the life we thought we should have, and make space for the one we deserve to live.
You’ll hear:
- How codependency and childhood trauma fuel the illusion of control
- The emotional toll of white-knuckling relationships, outcomes, and timelines
- How to identify the fear under the control — and what it’s really protecting
- The difference between giving up and surrendering
- Eight powerful principles from The Letting Go Technique that helped Erica begin again
- Why peace doesn’t come from mastering your emotions, but from allowing them to move through you
This chapter is raw, vulnerable, and filled with truth that may just shift your soul.
Because surrender isn’t passive — it’s the most courageous thing you’ll ever do.
🕊️ You are not alone in this.
